When to schedule
Standard business hours (9 AM–5 PM, Mon–Fri) in Kuala Lumpur and Accra don't overlap on the same weekday. Accra is 8 hours behind Kuala Lumpur.
With some flexibility, there’s a workable window outside standard hours:
- 3 PM–8 PM in Kuala Lumpur (7 AM–12 PM in Accra) — suggest 5:00 PM Kuala Lumpur (9:00 AM Accra).
This means an early start or late finish for one side, but it’s a reasonable slot for a one-off meeting.
Public holidays in 2026
National public holidays can affect availability — a counterpart is likely off work on their own holidays, so it's worth planning meetings and deadlines around them.
